Gene Symbol:

KRT14 Homo sapiens

Full name:

keratin 14

Synonyms:

CK14, EBS3, EBS4, K14, NFJ, keratin, type I cytoskeletal 14, cytokeratin 14, keratin 14, type I

Genomic Location:

Chr 17: 36992059-36996673

Description:

This gene encodes a member of the keratin family, the most diverse group of intermediate filaments. This gene product, a type I keratin, is usually found as a heterotetramer with two keratin 5 molecules, a type II keratin. Together they form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Mutations in the genes for these keratins are associated with epidermo...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a member of the keratin family, the most diverse group of intermediate filaments. This gene product, a type I keratin, is usually found as a heterotetramer with two keratin 5 molecules, a type II keratin. Together they form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Mutations in the genes for these keratins are associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex. At least one pseudogene has been identified at 17p12-p11.
